Quan Ji (simplified: 全寄, traditional: 全寄, pinyin: Quán Jì) was a son of Quan Cong. In the Two Palaces conflict the Quan family supported Sun Ba. After the Quebei campaign (241), when merit was assessed, Zhang Xiu and Gu Cheng were ranked above Quan Cong’s sons Quan Xu and Quan Duan; Quan Cong and Quan Ji resented this. According to the Wu lu, Quan Cong and his sons slandered Gu Tan, Gu Cheng, and Zhang Xiu, claiming they had colluded with the Army Supervisor Chen Xun to inflate their merit. This led to the exile of Gu Tan, Gu Cheng, and Zhang Xiu and to Zhang Xiu’s being ordered to commit suicide. Quan Ji was executed in 250. Chen Shou wrote that Quan Cong “did not restrain his treacherous sons and so incurred criticism and ruined his name.”
